Why does every think Toronto will sweep Brooklyn?

Should at least be 4-2.

You just don't get it do you? Raps in 4.

I guess youre right.

Raps in 4.

There are no back to backs in the playoffs, players on the Nets are rested, time to bring the noise.

problem in 2006 was j kidd , vc and Rj in their prime,

Not a shell of KG and unathletic old PP and a shell of DW.

Plus start talling smack to the raptors and Kyle Lowery will go off

The nets would have been better off against the bulls who can't score.

Their only chance is the friendly whistle they will get.

This is the kind of series where I wouldn't be surprised if it's Raps in 5-6, or Nets in 5-6.

I just can't get a read on this Nets team. They could either be horrible, or play magnificent basketball.

However, I'm going with the only logical solution. Raps in 4.

Nets have playoff tested and clutch players. They are too much experienced for raptors
But still Raptors is 4

The "more experienced" refrain is become a bit rhetorical. :nonono:

I'd like 4 playoff examples where a "more experienced" lower-seeded roster has won a best of 7 series.

Until then it's irrelevant.

Thanks!

Actually I recall Lowry talking smack to Pierce in one game, which caused Pierce to go off.

Looks like Pierce is still a Celtic...

Exactly. Because Pierce isn't playing when they are trying to tank. He's sitting on the bench.

Fine, I'll believe Pierce because he's a player and they usually they compete no matter what. But you honestly think that Kidd was not trying to tank that game? Of course if Pierce was on the floor, he would not have held anything back. But Kidd made sure that he maximized their chances of losing by benching ALL the starters. Poor and disgraceful move from Kidd, made himself and his own team look bad.

Pierce definitely tanked the ATL game.
Clanked two free throws and then took a contested deep three with like 12+ seconds left on the clock.

Raps in 4, then 4, then 4, then 4.

DAMNIT: NOW send Rachel McAdams over our way. Please.

If I were a betting man I would say about 11 or 12 :lol:

The post game reaction for each game is going to be ridiculous
